When the point on a great journey is reached where there are less days ahead than behind, it becomes hard not to look backwards. There's nothing wrong with reminiscing, but resist rumination, for without your eyes open you'll surely stumble, or worse: miss the rest of the trip. Instead, focus on your companions in trek, and those you meet along the way. There is so much more to see.
This week's haiku go out to all who savor each moment and seek the wisdom of the road.
HEART OF CHINA
walk in other’s shoes
immerse in experience
enjoy little things
heed wisened elders
even be they pruny hags
healing herbs they make
universal rule
never begrudge nourishment
hospitality
don’t cross fat warlords
they can be irrational
spoil your holiday
rage at enemies
only causes poor grammar
anger leads astray
when you are outgunned
good to have a ninja friend
invisible, go!

loyalty is key
but remember and respect
all friends have limits
a man accepts help
but abstains from usury
always pay your debts
patience lucky boy
waiting can be a blessing
and this, too, shall pass
must keep moving on
allowing no moss to grow
find new, tasty soups
